Finding the Perfect Bra at BRABAR

Finding the perfect bra can be a challenging experience, especially for teenage girls and young women. At BRABAR, we understand the importance of fit, comfort, and style. Our mission is to provide a wide range of bras that cater to different body types and preferences, ensuring that every young woman feels confident and comfortable.

Understanding Bra Sizes

The cup size of a bra is determined by the difference between the rib cage measurement and the overbust measurement. For example:

  • A 28DD size bra means a 28-inch rib cage and a 34-inch overbust measurement (28 + 6 = 34). Therefore, the cup size in this case would be DD.
  • A 32D bra size means that the measurements of the rib cage are 32 inches and the overbust measurement is 36 inches. The difference between the rib cage measurement and the overbust measurement determines the cup size. In this case, the difference is 4 inches, which is a D cup.
  • A 34DDD bra is designed to fit a person with a 34-inch rib cage measurement and a 40-inch overbust measurement. This sizing system takes into consideration the difference between the rib cage and the full bust measurement, so a size 34DDD bra will have a cup size of DDD, which is equivalent to an E cup.
  • A 38C bra is designed for someone with a 38-inch rib cage circumference and a 41-inch overbust measurement. The overbust measurement is important when choosing the correct size bra, as this will determine the cup size.
  • A 38DD bra is designed to fit someone with a rib cage of 38 inches and an overbust measure of 43 inches. The DD in the size indicates a difference of 5 inches between the rib cage and overbust measurements, which is the standard calculation for cup size.

Debunking the +4 Method

The +4 method of measuring bra size is an outdated and inaccurate way of measuring bra size. It generally gives the wearer an inaccurate bra size and puts them in a “sister size,” which is a cup size that is one size larger than the true cup size they need. This method does not account for the size of the rib cage and therefore does not take into account the difference between cup sizes. For example, the +4 method might suggest the wearer take a 34D, but in reality, they would be more suited to a 30DDD cup size. This can cause a poor fit, which can lead to discomfort, decreased support, and back pain.

TIP: Adding 4 inches to the band measurement to determine size is not recommended as it does not take into account body shape and is not an accurate way of measuring bra size. Instead, a professional bra fitter should use your rib cage and overbust measurements to determine the right size for you, as these account for your body shape and size and ensure a better, more comfortable fit.

Considering Style and Design

When choosing a bra for girls, it's important to consider the style and design that will best suit their needs. Different styles of bras offer different levels of support and coverage, so it's important to choose one that matches the girl's preferences and activities. For example, a sports bra may be more suitable for girls who are active and participate in sports, while a bralette or wireless bra may be more comfortable for everyday wear. Additionally, consider the design features such as adjustable straps, hook and eye closures, and padding or underwire for added support. By considering the style and design of the bra, you can ensure that it not only fits well but also meets the girl's individual needs and preferences.
